I am sure most of you are think, "how can anyone like that guy?" I can see your point, as the character archetype is usually pulled off terribly. But when done right, like Godai from Maison Ikkoku, they actually are sympathetic and relatable. Sadly the character type, like most archetypes in modern anime for that matter, has been exaggerated to the point of near parody, so it is rarely done right.

What about Genki Girls? Those cute bundles of energy like Sapphire Oak from PokeSpe. I love 'em (not in THAT way but I find them adorable like a box of kittens).

As for traps, I may never figure out how and why they'd dress up so much like girls that they're indistinguishable from a real girl. It's so uncanny and mind boggling. Whoever they are should have careers acting.

You got that right! The Legend of Korra is returning on October 3rd! Mark your calendars!

I like emotionless girls, like Black Rock Shooter or those with a split personnality like Solva in Needless. She's cute and charming outside but inside she's a sadist and lady-swears-a-lot. Or cute and psycho if you prefer. Here's a video made by a guy who got all my respect. Ok the first seconds are a bit off but watch it completely and you'll see Solva switching from normal to battle. One of the best amv on a character that I saw on Youtube.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrgwB19JL24

The aloof genius characters. They usually have a arrogant side to them and can't stand being wrong. Its fun seeing them act all superior because they really are until plot power kicks in for the dumb main to catch up.

I am a fool for Yandere. Something about the raw passion behind the trait is such a turn on. I tend to also find alot of tsundere's and tsundere behavior adorable. I find yangire a tad overrated, but I enjoy it from time to time in appropriate doses.

My favorite has got to be that villian that is purely evil and sadistic, but honestly believes himself to be the savior of the world, and will go to any lengths to see his goals realized. Prime example: Dewey Novac, from Eureka Seven.

Light Yagami is a better (possibly the best?) example of that, if you ask me.

^Frieza is not example of that as he was just a major dick, excuse my language.
